The slope would be 58.

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

That relationship is established by the fixed cost of each ticket ($58). The handling fee is a constant that would shift the curve upward by $5, but would have no effect on the slope of the line since it is completely independent from the number of tickets being purchased (x).
